i plead ignorance on this one.

Im assuming its talking about Pot brownies but I dont see the connection to boyscouts at all.

I would associate them more with jokes of molestation or something other than drugs.......

can anyone fill me in ? And if its about marijuana I honestly dont see how some of you can call it tasteless....its meh at best.

edit:

looked it up......girlscouts called brownies? I never was involved in boyscouts for fear of the "Lets take our shirts off and kiss" freakshows. I could see how that could be crude on tv now =)

Funny….to me yes. Grounds for dismissal….c'mon. You don't like it tune it out…. Politically correctness

People just need to GET OVER IT! The sensitive nature of "certain people" in this country makes me sick.

[colin007]

yes, girl scouts are called brownies. so he "ate" a brownie - in the sense of "eating at the Y"...

quite humorous, IMHO.

I personally don't find anything wrong with that...and I find it quite amusing...people are becoming too shtight these days!! They need to loosen up a bit. It's sports not a Martha Stewart Basket decorating show...COME ON!!!

It is about sexual behavior among teenagers, i.e. Boy Scouts and young Girl Scouts, called "brownies". I think our society is over-sexed enough without a "sports broadcaster" pointing out a tee shirt like that. If you have a 12 year old son who asks, "What does that mean, Dad?", how would you answer him?

Tell him the truth…it was a joke and that there is no need to be uptight over it, who knows a child may actually learn a thing or two from this. I think teens are "sex-crazed" because there is a fundamental lack of knowledge and dialogue. An innocent joke like that tee-shirt may be enough to break the ice and start general discussions about the subject.

My 2 cents.

[colin007]

yeah, pretty much. i mean, we can see people getting shot and tortured on prime time TV, but if you want to show a womans rear then no way...we titillate our senses w/ sexual innuendo and then hide behind FCC regs. go to europe and theres no big deal over these things. and also, middle school kids know way more than we give them credit for.

Golf in general has a bunch of motor-mouthed announcers. I can relate that to the Johnny Miller factor where Johnny thinks everything he says matters and the other media outlets praise him for "speaking his mind". One reason why I liked Curtis Strange, he announced golf, gave some perspective about the Tour but didn't overdo it. Keep it to the golf and not the flair.

Curtis was decent, and informative. I am trying to think of what broadcasters I have liked---Peter Jacobsen comes to mind. He combined a sense of humor, with respect for the players, and gave some good insights.

Good response. When our son and daughter were in their teens (he is 28 now, and she is 24), I was always very frank with them about sex. I taught church school for 10 years and in the first class, I would say to the high school freshmen, "Here is a topic that we will discuss from an ethical standpoint". Then, I would turn my back to them, and in big letters, slowly write the word SEX on the blackboard. Naturally, there would be giggles and laughter. After I turned around, I would say, "Now, I am a guy, and I know how the guys reacted---they think they know it all and it is so funny. You know why?---they cannot get pregnant. You girls probably did not find it so funny. You know why?---you can get pregnant. Your guy can walk away and leave you at that point, and then you have to decide---what do I do with my baby? And that is not funny." The guys would look at the ground, and the girls would nod their heads. They knew that I was right.
